iRobot Roomba 621 cleans all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all types of floors, it means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean flooring materials without any significant issues.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space.
This can be used for several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba 621 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba 621 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. iRobot Roomba 621 has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuums varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum.

The iRobot Roomba 621's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba 621 by only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
iRobot Roomba 621 can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni with advanced sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles.

iRobot Roomba 621 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 362mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 22mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba 621's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 103.5mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 11.5mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage.
The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 621's battery power is 4,500mAh
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 621 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba 621's operating time is 1.5h
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 4.3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 2.8h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba 621 has a charge time of 3h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 6.5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 3.5h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. iRobot Roomba 621 has a power consumption of 33W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 45W
